The omgekrapte driver led cops to an address in Bothasig, where they caught the strong smell of dagga, leading police to the discovery of an indoor dagga cultivation laboratory.

Police spokesperson Constable Ndakhe Gwala explained: "Members of Bothasig SAPS received a complaint from an e-hailing driver who was not paid by a 31-year-old male residing in Mill Street.

"They accompanied the driver to the address of the suspect and found him with a 22-year-old male and he was cooperative, promising to pay the complainant.
